This one is pretty awesome. i love the standard Blade cover, but this japanese release is amazing:  so is the Japanese Fifth Element:  i don't have the Japanese fifth element, but i want it. also that copy of T2 above is amazing, i don't think i've seen that before. i also really like the Criterion James Bond covers. they just seem to fit those movies so well. |

I'm, once again, so far away from majority with my opinions...   Not that those sleeves people have listed in this topic would be bad, quite a lot of cool ones among them, but I absolutely love these japanese designs with certain "cut-and-paste" feel. |

Japanese LaserDisc covers also use color and contrast in a brilliant way that the vast majority of American discs do not. |

Just won these off of YJA . . .  . . . those are the Samurai Spirits ("Samurai Shodown" here in the US) OAVs from 1998. Anyone know of any other 2 covers that make up one image (non-gatefold)? |

anyone else notice how a lot of artwork was done so that they didn't have to alter anything for the VHS cover? perfect example- disney's Hercules. The only thing outside of the center is just the clouds and the sky. the appeal of LD is the great cover artwork and I always feel jipped when they just transfer the VHS cover over or make a small box with the artwork in it and leave the rest as a solid color |

Giger: Alien (1979) [78LS-13] Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) (1997) [TKLA-50300] Most of the Criterions. Julien |

This is a great thread. Kurenai no Buta (Porco Rosso) (1992) [TKLO-50090]  I left the obi out since in this case it massively distracts from the design. |

Artwork on DVD and Bluray is like looking at cheap magazine. Looking at the artwork of Laserdisc is like going to picture gallery to see real art. I like the TOP GUN one with the embossed lettering.  Romancing the Stone, swinging though the jungle.  m and The Jewel of the Nile with similar theme to the first one.

Here's some more that I have that I think are really awesome:     (checking to see if my copy is rotted today) the back cover is equally as impressive. |

The quality of cover art is one aspect in which LD will always be superior to DVD/Blu-Ray. I've heard a similar argument to vinyl vs. CD. I personally love the Disney box sets for artwork. My favorites being The Lion King and Sleeping Beauty. The Criterion Robocop is also up there for me.
